Good morning, 

This does not work on my new Windows 11 laptop. Please help. It returns a blank location. Someone gave this to me, I don't understand how it works.

# If one needs to use %drv% for backups as in
# xcopy /cd "c:\projects\archive\*.*" "%drv%\"
# Then, add the following to the beginning of the backup script
# and it will search for which drive letter the USB drive is on.
# It is searching for the file "usbdrive.txt"
# Place a copy of this file on the USB drive for it to find.

#@echo off
 for %%a in (d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist %%a:\usbdrive.txt set drv=%%a:
 echo USB drive was found at drive %drv%
 pause
